    what you should use is Ibuprofen 10% Gel it works wonders, all it is, is a cream which you put on the area which is hurting and soon the pain will go, but if it still comes back then keep putting the stuff on but remember do not put it on for more than 4 times a day.

    If you dont see any improvement after 2 weeks go to your doctor.

    Hope that helps!

    i got fluid on my knees recently and have been using this gel called "Gene Juarez Anti-Fluid Gel" its AMAZING.. that helps with swelling bruising and soothes the pain..its not a pain killer though so for that Ibuprofen or Advil.
    also arnica gel is supposed to be good but i've never tried it. good luck.

    In addition to the anti-inflamatories, you should keep your feet up at night. Try alternating ice and heat when they're really swollen.

    When they are swollen use an ice pack for 10 mins or so. If you are running at all, like on the treadmill, STOP. Walk instead. Lower your salt intake- it makes you retain more unhealthy fluids. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins.

    If this doesn't help it's time to see a Dr. Good luck to you, I know how bad injuries can be but try to remember preventive care is your best friend!
